My Students

I teach an amazing group of 5th graders in NYC. They are part of our school's Gifted and Talented program. They are bright, eager to learn, and love to be challenged! They get excited about new ideas, projects, and explorations!

My Project

Nothing inspires a love of learning like a good book! I'm excited to welcome ALL of my students back into the classroom this fall. However, our current classroom library is NOT as ready as I am!

I teach 5th grade at an amazing school in Queens.

My students are advanced readers and tend to devour books at impressive speeds! :) I would love a new, fresh library, with current and interesting titles to push their thinking even further!

I appreciate all of your help in making this wish a reality!
